Hometown Pass

Sounds great. Thanks for repackaging the pass. I guess I didn't anticipate all the wear and tear that bag would take. I'll remember to use a tupperwear next time.
 
I am back from vacation and can take the pass whenever. Looks like I missed the contest too!
 
I've got a bunch of single baggies that I can bring when we meet on Wednesday. Approximately how many are needed?
 
I made some adjustments. Let me know if these P/T's are good.

1 DPG Outlaw Custom Wanlail
58 Cabiguan Guapo MP
8 LFD Mysterio Oscuro Wanlail
59 Tatuaje Black (Jar) MP
25 Bolivar Royal Corona '07 Wanlail
60 Cohiba Corona Especiales 06' MP
27 Rafael Gonzalez Marquez 06'Wanlail
61 Partagas 898 Varnished 04' MP
46 Fonseca Cosaco SmokinTexas
62 Rafael Gonzalez Corona Extra 01' MP
 
I realize that the P/T's are still tentative, but I went ahead and updated the Google Doc (<-- Link)

Also, it looks like Kevin put the addresses on sheet 2 which can be found at the bottom of the document.
 
My apologies for not mentioning the issue with the bag. The top came torn up pretty good and I taped it up as a quick fix to keep this moving. It looked like USPS roughed the box up on the way over. I tried to focus on cleaning up the outside of the box and getting all the edges sealed tight.
 
Haha THATS what your last name is. :) I couldn't figure it out. You just sent me your address, no name. Robbie's P/T look good to me.

Well, new note to self: Next Pass, I need to put the cigars into a shatter proof box!
 
Yup and I have heard it all with that name too :sign:

I think the first might reach, since the Zona Del Este isn't made anymore and was a limited release when it was. MSRP was about the same, too, I think.

But the LFD II was about $2 less than the Tat Black when it was released, IIRC.

Everything else looks good.

The xXx MSRP is $9.25 according to MMM's thread (click) and the Zona del Este's MSRP was $10 according to Vitolas (click).

As far as the LDF FP II, when I valued it for Jonesy's noob pass back in the fall, I came up with an average of $12.50 based on the price at the few places that still had them in stock at the time--Jack Schwartz ($12.25; now out of stock), Atlantic ($12.50; now out of stock), and $12.75 still in stock at What's Knot to Love (click). Arnold's (click) has it in stock now for $12, and every review I've found for it lists MSRP at $12. I did, however, find it now for $10.80 at Show Me Your Ash (click) so if that's a deal-breaker, I certainly understand.

Vitolas lists the MSRP of the Tat Black at $12 (click).

I'm not being defensive or argumentative, and I'll certainly try to rework one or both if necessary--just explaining the manner in which I arrived at my valuations and proposals...
 
The jar Blacks have always been listed at $13, though. That's the figure I had in my head when I posted---wasn't meaning to come down on you by any means; didn't know the bundle Blacks priced out a buck less.

The Show Me Your Ash link does bring up a point to consider, though---that market price on the FP II is actually falling, whereas the opposite is happening for the Blacks.

~Boar
 
I didn't realize that the Black values were different depending on jar or bundle--the one in the pass is from a jar, not a bundle, so the bundle pricing of $12 may be wholly irrelevant anyway...

Holts has the LFD FP II at $59.95/5 (click), Hiland's has them for $15 apiece (click), and Serious has them for $12 apiece (click) so Show Me Your Ash seems like a bit of an outlier. I didn't examine anything beyond the top 20 google results though.

Edit-->If it's any more palatable to Kevin and the rest of the group, I'm certainly willing to scratch the Tat Black-->LFD FP II swap in favor of a Cuvee Grand Lancero '06--> LFD FP II swap...
 
How about I scratch the LFD PF II--> Tat Black p/t and instead take the Cuvee Grand Lancero '06 for the LFD FP II?

How does that sound?
 
Contest package was at my house today and I can't say thank you enough for the assault on my wish list. Far too generous! :thumbs:
